<![CDATA[The program introducing traditional Japanese clothing and dance to senior high school/equivalent students aimed to enhance participants’ knowledge and understanding of traditional Japanese culture and to identify their interest in this cultural heritage. The activity employed a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, emphasizing collaboration between higher education institutions and the community, combined with a service-learning approach. The activity was attended by 136 high school students in Bandung and included the introduction and practice of Sakura Odori dance and Yukata, a traditional Japanese garment. Evaluation was conducted using a questionnaire consisting of multiple-choice and open-ended questions addressing participants’ knowledge, experiences, perceptions, and interest in traditional Japanese culture. The results showed that participants’ initial knowledge of traditional Japanese clothing was higher than their knowledge of traditional Japanese dance. A total of 85.1% of participants reported that they were familiar with traditional Japanese clothing, whereas only 30.4% reported being familiar with traditional Japanese dance. The open-ended responses indicated that participants were able to identify various types of traditional Japanese clothing and dances, as well as their characteristics, functions, and cultural meanings. Furthermore, 100% of participants expressed satisfaction with the activity, while 79.5% expressed an interest in learning more about traditional Japanese culture.
